 Dr. E. A. Cockaj'ne exhibited: — 



(1) Half the series of Anthrocera liippocrepidis from the late J. 

 W. Tutt's collection with the original labels, two of which read : 

 " This drawer contains the whole of the series of this species, 

 which is nearer trifoUi than fiUjiendiiht structurally: described 

 " N. H. Brit. Lep.," i., 522-538;" and ".stejdiemi, Dupont., tiUti, 

 Staud., Itipjiociepidis, Stphs.," respectively. Also a specimen of 

 A. trifolii taken from the same colony at Chattenden. The rest of 

 the series is now in Mr. P. A. Buxton's collection. 



(2) Early A. filipeitdida: from Portland, from Enniskillen, where 

 it flies with A. lonicera;, from Bundoran, where a larger spotted 

 form is found, from Folkestone, where it flies with A. tiifoUi-ininor. 

 A. lonicera and A. trifolii from these localities are also shown. 



(3) A series of A. fHipendnhr and A. trifolii from two colonies 

 found in marsh-land near Oxford, which produce imagines in 

 June. The A. trifolii are nearer to A. trifolii-iiioJor = iialiiiitris than 

 to A. trifolii-niinor. 



(4) Series of A. trifolii-iiiinor (Surrey) and A. filipendi(hr. 

 (Surrey).
